In January 2022, the City of Albuquerque announced plans to build a large government building in the Elena Gallegos Open Space, at either the Pino Trailhead or the Cottonwood Springs Trailhead.
Such a building is expressly prohibited by the legal covenants which protect this land. If the City breaks these covenants, they establish a precedent for buildings in the Open Space and open the door for future development in the Elena Gallegos.
This paragraph is lifted directly from the Purchase Agreement for the EGOS made between the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Academy in June 1982. These same restrictions are reprinted word-for-word in the Deed to the EGOS. These covenants have protected the EGOS from development for forty years and are now under threat of being irretrievably broken.
The devastating consequences of this project go far beyond the impact made by one building.
We cannot allow the City to begin development in the Elena Gallegos. We must uphold the covenants and save this precious land!
Our #1 concern is children. Please support us in preserving the Open Space as open space, so that the children of Albuquerque, and every future generation, will be able to experience its magic of untrammeled wilderness.
DON’T BREAK THE COVENANTS!!!
